TiVO 3.0 is really cool

TiVo is currently beginning the process of rolling out TiVo's 3.0 software to customers. My TiVo has 3.0, and I have to say TiVo kept its word -- the purpose of this release was mainly to synchronize the versions of the various stand-alone TiVos. Some features that were changed from the Series|2's original 2.0.3 version are improved wish list functionality, better TiVo suggestions, and other small features here and there, as well as the unsupported broadband feature and broadcast data download. Get 3.0!
TiVo will work with anything. You put the TiVo in between your cable box (or whatever) and your TV. The TiVo has an IR Blaster (basically a remote control for other devices) that the TiVo can control. After the initial set up, when you tell the TiVo to change channels, it repeats the signal through the IR Blaster to the cable box
It also does this on its own to change channels for recording. You just have to make sure you leave your cable box turned on. Simple.
